Difference between revisions of "Legend of the Condor Heroes (2003)"

Based on the novel "Legend of Condor Hero" by Jin Yong, the story is set in the middle of Song Dynasty and at the beginning of the Nuzhen Invasion of China. Two dedicated Song Dynasty young men, Yang Tie Xin (楊?心) and Guo Xiao Tian (郭嘯天) find out that their wives are pregnant. They promise each other that when their children are born, they would become either sworn brothers or sworn sisters (if both are the same gender) or be married if they were of different genders. One night they befriend a Taoist priest named Qiu Chuji (丘處機) of Quan Zhen Sect who's wanted by Jin soldiers. Qiu Chuji dispatches soldiers coming to arrest him with ease and leaves when he sees a signal of his Sect appear in the night sky.

Yang's kind hearted wife, Bao Xirou (包惜弱), rescues a wounded man who turns out to be the Jin prince Wanyan Honglie (完?洪烈). When the Jin soldiers return, the two families are torn asunder. Wanyan Honglie takes Bao Xirou to the Jin capital while Guo Li Ping is taken by a greedy Jin soldier, Duan Tiande, to the Mongolian outskirts. Both women believe that their husbands perished trying to save them.

Upon discovering his friends' demise, Qiu Chuji vows to find their children and teach them kung fu so that they can avenge the wrong done to their families. Hot on the trail of Duan Tiande (段天德), Qiu Chuji "befriends" The 7 Wierdos of Jiangnan (江?七怪). In exchange for helping Qiu Chuji find the two women, they make a friendly wager. Upon finding the children of Yang and Guo, each side will teach the child they find their kung fu. On the 18th birthday of the two children, they will all gather and have the two duel each other. The rest of the series depicts the trials and tribulations that the two sons underwent. Guo Jing (郭?), Guo Xiao Tian's son grows up in Mongolia, under the protection of Genghis Khan. Yang Kang (楊康), on the other hand, grows up as a prince in the Jin Empire.

Opening Theme

Title: Heaven and Earth Lies in My Heart
Writer: Yi Ming
Music: Zhao Lin
Singer: Qiu Ye

Supremacy lasting thousands of autumns,

Hundreds of battles all end in victory,

The four borders rise up to sing in the wind.

A single horse gallops,

Pulling bowstring shooting eagles,

Heaven and Earth lies in my heart.

Thousands of miles of dirty road,

The mountain pass' moon a blur*,

Lonely expert disappears in a flash.

Who to share my heart with,

who am I willing to die with,

When faced with an important decision push forward,

focus on honor and kindness.

A single horse gallops,

Pulling bowstring shooting eagles,

Heaven and Earth are in my heart.

Zhen qing zhen mei, zhen ru yi chi chun shui

Feng chui dian dian lian yi, gan shou xi zhi ru wei

(Male) True Feelings Are Truly Beautiful, Real as a pond of spring water,

Wind blows droplets of ripple, Feeling of a delicate enclosure.

(female) Passion is not a crime, giving is not wrong;

even if it takes our whole lives, we will rely on each other

(male) It does not matter who, or whether things are right or wrong

we will make the future a blank page, and write "No regrets".

(Female) We are all willing to give, as long as our love is pure

even if it is painful or tiring, we will share the burden together.

(male) the love we have is precious, precious because of our actions

(female) the love we have is precious, precious because of our actions

(male) So long as we go and come back together, success or failure does not matter

(female) So long as we go and come back together, success or failure does not matter

(Together) the love we have is precious, precious because of our actions

So long as we go and come back together, success or failure does not matter

the love we have is precious, precious because of our actions

So long as we go and come back together, success or failure does not matter

(male)The winds and rain of upcoming days contains no sorrow,

No matter what happens we'll face it together,

Hundreds of turns and thousands of rounds, From south to north

Just simply open the door to our hearts.

(Together) the love we have is precious, precious because of our actions

So long as we go and come back together, success or failure does not matter

the love we have is precious, precious because of our actions

So long as we go and come back together, success or failure does not matter
